Notice about Fair Use of this Web Site:

This is an educational web site. It is intended for use by my students at the University of Florida Fredric G. Levin College of Law. It is also generally intended for use by students and faculty, even those from other educational institutions. However, I am a full-time law professor, not a practicing attorney. I will not provide legal advice of any kind in response to private inquiries generated by public access to the website. I cannot control access to this page by anyone outside law student and faculty groups. However, this page is not intended to solicit private legal inquiries or to provide legal counsel. I urge anyone who accesses my page while conducting legal research to seek the advice of competent counsel duly admitted to practice in your jurisdiction. The material posted here is a small part of the three-year legal education of highly-skilled students. The course materials are accompanied by thousands of pages of case, statute, rule and other readings as well as by hundreds of hours of class. It is foolish, indeed reckless, to believe that just because you can Google the materials you can also understand them as they are intended without the assistance of competent counsel duly admitted to practice in your jurisdiction. Finally, this is not a private research service. I will not reply to requests for information from anyone other than students and faculty seeking educational advice. I will answer bona fide news media and governmental requests that are within my areas of expertise, to the extent that this is consistent with my other obligations. Media inquiries must be initially directed to the College of Law Office of Communications. |
